The claim
The Bavarian state parliament has elected two AfD candidates as honorary judges at the Bavarian Constitutional Court, despite resistance from the SPD and the Greens.
Our conclusion
The election of the AfD candidates to the Bavarian Constitutional Court is correct, follows the usual parliamentary procedure and reflects the political composition of the state parliament.
In politics there are always decisions that cause a stir in the public. The recent election of AfD candidates as honorary judges at the Bavarian Constitutional Court is one such case that has sparked heated debates. It is important to consider this decision in the context of the political system and democratic process without jumping to conclusions.
Rumors/claims about the election of AfD candidates
It is claimed that the election of AfD candidates as judges at the Bavarian Constitutional Court is a worrying sign for democracy in Bavaria. Critics see this as a move that could influence the court's political direction and potentially jeopardize its independence.
Evaluation
The election of the AfD candidates took place according to the usual parliamentary procedure, in which each faction can propose candidates according to their strength. Voting on the entire list of candidates at once is a common procedure that reflects the political diversity in Parliament.
The case
The Bavarian State Parliament elected 15 volunteer judges for the Bavarian Constitutional Court, with the CSU putting forward seven, the Free Voters three, the AfD and the Greens two each and the SPD one candidate. The AfD candidates Wolfram Schubert and Rüdiger Imgart were elected together with the other candidates. The CSU, Free Voters and AfD voted for the list, while the SPD and Greens voted against it.
Further information
The decision to elect AfD candidates was met with protest and criticism from the SPD and the Greens. They argued that the AfD was anti-democratic and anti-human and spoke out against its representation in the Constitutional Court. The AfD defended its candidates and emphasized that, as a party based on the rule of law, it supports democratic institutions.
Conclusion
The election of the AfD candidates for the Constitutional Court is a democratic decision that reflects the composition of the parliament. But it also calls on us to think critically about the meaning of diversity and political representation in our institutions.
